Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Nutrition

Our research activities are focused on Human Nutrition in order to understand the role of nutrients on health and how to prevent disease. Our know-how and expertise are mainly devoted to the feeding acute phase (postprandial metabolism). It joins different points of view, from metabolism to genomic. Fatty food and feed ingredients bioactivity evaluation in postprandial human models, including healthy subjects and patients with any metabolic-related pathology. We also use animal models. Natural compounds bioactivity evaluation in cellular models, including primary and established cell lines. Protein and gene expression studies related to fat metabolism and their implications in metabolic pathologies.
